Verrill Dana, LLP Recognized In National Survey of Client Service Leaders
PORTLAND, MAINE (July 18, 2007) — Verrill Dana, LLP, one of New England’s leading full service law firms, has been recognized for excellence in client service by a new survey of major national businesses. Verrill Dana was identified favorably in ten categories in the BTI Consulting Group’s 2007 “Power Rankings: The BTI Client Relationship Scorecard for Law Firms,” receiving more than three times as many comments as the only other Maine-based firm included in the survey. This impressive performance follows Verrill Dana’s inclusion last year as the only law firm in northern New England in BTI’s 2006 “Client Service A-Team.”
BTI’s Client Relationship Scorecard findings are based on individual, independent interviews with nearly 500 of America’s largest and most influential buyers of legal services; specifically, with corporate counsel and other legal professionals at Fortune 1000 companies, large privately held companies, and major financial services firms. These interviews were conducted over a 15-month period ending late last year.Â
Verrill Dana is described in the BTI survey as a law firm that is “outperforming many peer groups” and one that has developed “an unmatched base of institutional knowledge about client-specific needs, goals, objectives and legal history that can help…deliver greater value to clients.” Verrill Dana is also singled out as a “Bet-the-Company” law firm, and is recognized as both a primary and recommended law firm for private companies.  Â
“This survey provides unparalleled insight into how law firms perform with the largest, most prestigious client base in North America,” said BTI President Michael Rynowecer. “It reveals a clear demarcation of which law firms are setting the standard in this fast-paced legal marketplace. We congratulate Verrill Dana on this notable achievement.”Â
“We are thrilled to be again recognized by our clients for the high level of service that we provide, just as we were last year when we were named to the BTI Client Service A-Team,” said Verrill Dana Managing Partner David Warren.  “It is an honor to be included with major national law firms from across the country in receiving this special recognition.” Â
